Rumor has it Flynas is buying troubled Pakistani carrier Shaheen Air, which is currently only allowed to operate Haj flights, previous routes included Kuwait, 4 points in UAE, one each in Oman and China, prior to that Qatar, one point in Iran and Malaysia were served too.

No other country has spoken out in support of Canada. The silence is really telling, only Amnesty International is behind Canada. Again. Another thread turned into a Trump USA debate. Most of the comments here have nothing to do with the matter at hand which is a dispute between Canada and Saudi Ar...

As for pulling all the students, I think most people's reaction is that this is great news, because we are experiencing severe housing shortage in major cities and rents are pushed sky-high in recent years. Pulling 12000 students mean freeing 12000 apartment units in major cities in a very short ti...

Markhor logo still adorns A320 AP-BLU and was misreported as having been removed, latest pic http://i67.tinypic.com/2ivk9vo.jpg PIA is also to order 7000 model aircraft of 772ER in 1:200 scale, in new livery. Actually Shaheen has suspended all international and domestic operations, only Haj services...

Shaheen has officially ended Guangzhou route, initially a few services were canceled due to ongoing financial situation over the past week. Shaheen MD/owners mother.. a Canadian lady, who was or is one of the board of directors, has intervened and stopped the airline from reducing employees. Over 20...

The 2 pictures I have are not good quality, they would be more like a form of evidence. I have given up on posting pictures on airliners.net. I have pictures of planes that are not in the database, but get rejected. I had recently a very nice picture of a plane, again not in the database. Got rejec...

EK request to fly A380 to Islamabad is said to be under review by CAA Pakistan. Earlier it was reported once weekly operation was approved till August and further talks will be held for the four weekly sought, EK also said they want to fly it daily.

Gulf Air A320NEOs delayed till August 2018. Airline will also maintain their A330s despite the 787 deliveries Expect the launch of a Chinese city towards the end of this year heard any rumors of a top up order?? I think Guangzhou is the place, hope they repaint A330s, all are still in original 2003...

Air Blue flew to the United Kingdom BHX and MAN but they pulled out after a couple of years, there were many delays with their A340 and also with the A321 that replaced it on the Islamabad route. Air Blue pulled out of the UK and in a press release at the time stated that it intended to stay more r...

They would run into Trademark issues with JetBlue if they did. Remember that United sued United Airways of Bangladesh for trademark infringement once the latter launched service to London. Not really, Airways vs Airlines plus no resemblance between livery design, colours, logo and wordmark, it was ...

Put it this way, the Chinese carriers are likely already flying to those destinations that the EK pax are eventually flying to (after halting at DXB). Do the any of the Chinese carriers have really much of presence in the Middle East or Africa (outside of maybe JNB)? CZ flies to Nairobi from CAN. T...

Personally I don’t like burkas at all, but I also believe in a persons right to wear what they want. And this is where you are losing me. I just don't believe that women really want to wear a burka. Put another way, I don't believe that it is a completely free and voluntary choice. If it was, I wou...

Why not do this work in the winter when the tarmac will set far more quickly? We are talking about Dubai. Please enlighten us on when the Dubai temperatures are so significantly lower that tarmac will set quicker! I imagine that the selected window has been determined very carefully to minimise dis...

Just wondering why Macao has the dowdy flag carrier like Air Macau, serving a few destinations instead of a fun looking LCC? I can imagine something like WOW air with same livery as their airline, named WOW!macao.

Merging EK and EY and having them operate out of DWC just makes way too much sense for it to not happen eventually. The ownership could be split between the two governments and hopefully they can make it so it's a joint point of pride rather than pride making stupid decisions for competition. Or be...

EK want to fly A380 Islamabad daily. Isn't ISB a protected airport where the PAK government has controlled the ME3 expansion? If so, I would keep the A380 out. PK does a decent job of connecting ISB nonstop to EU. Also the A380 is not that great. It is a pain to board and deplane, be it in J or Y. ...

Karachi has a limited open skies policy since 1992 when new terminal was opened. Quetta has only two foreign airlines at present, historically it had two others from across the western borders, whatever few international services PIA had from there ended and no pvt carriers showed interest in doing ...

Shaheen is shrinking, 50% cabin staff reported fired and three A320s being returned to lessor, in June they ended A319 operations, three sub-leased to Fly Egypt and Royal Jordanian all flying in Shaheen livery, three returned to lessor. New livery also not appearing on the older fleet, rumored the a...
